Expendable-less?

As our time draws to an end,

Heightened emotions lead us astray,

Unkindness is unanimously felt –

We wonder why we were so in tune in the first place –

The reality is,

It was inevitable,

Only in this place did our footsteps somersault, balanced –

Over there, we are expendable to each other,

She was more optimistic,

The other one not so much –

This one had learnt to accept letting go

It had become a pre requisite for her life.

So as the specs of sand continued to trickle by,

They continued in the idle muteness towards one another,

Reminiscing in silence about the memories made,

And soon the day dragged itself to light,

Companionship turned out to be temporary,

A distraction from the Destination –

But I don’t regret it, Alhumdullilah.
